Interfaces

There are 5 Different Screens available, a title-, help-, end-, game over and level screen

• Titlescreen: Appears on upon launching the game and shows a frolicking Bill Gates on the Original Windows XP Hills, with the Game Title and an "Enter" Option, which functions as the start button and a help button to display the controls.
• Helpscreen: Displays the Controls of the Game, winning condition and details who is the enemy, the backspace button on screen leads back to the title screen
• Endscreen: Appears after fullfilling the winning condition of collecting all programme icons on time and displays the time it took the player to beat/"Escape" the game, finished with the ESC button used in the Title screen
• Game Over Screen: Appears when the loosing condition of colliding with enemy characters 3 times is fullfilled, which informs the player about their failure and prompts a restart through a button, which will lead the player back to the title screen
• Level Interface: The Level Interface is compromised of a textual and visual Score Display in the top center and the visual representation of the remaining lives are right of it. The "X" Button is functional and will bring the player back to the Title Screen, On the bottom right corner is a Timer, which measures the time spent so far in the active game.
